00:01it's aj hinch he's full of crap because if they would have kept montero in with the same results
00:08as we got with drew anderson nobody would have criticized him for pulling him or leaving him in
00:15with just 65 pitches nobody nobody would kill him instead it's people's biggest complaint from the
00:22weekend we're gonna get into it we got stoney in for a few more days before john comes back boy
00:26is he missed a lot while he's been gone fishing nine o'clock you have a former super bowl champion
00:32saying there could be a qb controversy in ann arbor we'll get to it at 902 yeah pretty interesting we
00:38got some audio we'll play it for you stoney is hinch on the hot seat well i think it's starting
00:46to warm up a little bit but i have no idea the relationship with him and scott harris and chris
00:52i would say the fan hot seat is burning uh but i don't know i don't know if he's on
01:00the
01:02ownership hot seat hinch just got an extension he's regarded as one of the better managers in baseball
01:07i tend to put more of this on harris again they're managing in a one nothing game last night the
01:14offense doesn't do anything you're walking a tightrope having said all that it's hard enough
01:19to win your manager can't make it harder correct and he's had multiple this is just the latest but
01:24multiple blunders i mean you talk about harris you talk about the roster you talk about the lack of
01:30offense how about this weekend maybe any idea um what the tigers were with runners in scoring position
01:36this weekend was it over 12 oh for 12 uh and they left 18 guys on base which is not
01:43a lot but that's
01:44part of the point zoom out yeah they didn't add a bat offense wasn't good enough as it is that's
01:50only made this harder for hinge true they're injured he's throwing these these but he's pinch
01:54hitting mckinstry and jami jones who don't even have a 500 ops so that's why i say you're making it
02:01harder on a team that's already having a hard time the montero thing specifically let's focus on it
02:06it just makes no sense analytically for this season it makes no sense none 65 pitches what's going
02:14through your head the guy's dealing yes that's 10 pitches 10 and 10.2 pitches in inning right he's
02:22cruising yeah keep him in the game yeah he's gone eight plus multiple times in his career
02:28he's been very good this season he has been and he was very good that day i don't think there's
02:33any
02:34argument to we didn't want guys to see him a third time through because they had hardly seen him
02:39period right so the average batter saw what like three pitches yeah no no no no way that you had
02:46seen enough of him and he had done such a good job this year the third time through what's the
02:50alternative your busted bullpen gets another run right and as you pointed out you know wisely
02:57this season his analytics are really good when facing a lineup the third time around and it was
03:03you know last year a little bit you know when he sure called up it wasn't so you know i
03:09i think
03:09some analytics are important but when is there a defined timeline of when the analytics are useful
03:19is this statute of limitations pass well you tell me what's more important what the guy did last year
03:25or what the guy's doing this year especially for a young player right he's a young player getting
03:31better how many starts has he had this year this season he's had 11 starts yeah okay so it's not
03:37a
03:37small sample size no that's 65 pitches is light he wasn't laboring no he was cruising the alternative is
03:46you go to the bullpen that's blown the most leads but the most blown saves in all of baseball this
03:51year
03:51right so if i could delay getting to them for an inning or at all yes because he could have
03:57gone
03:57complete game at 65 pitches absolutely he's had three innings left he could have gone 10 pitches
04:01in it you know let's say 15 pitches an inning that's 45 60 and so it's 100 okay so whatever
04:09and you pull him for the ninth and then they blow it but they're seriously though and two days ago
04:15drew anderson came in and gave up soft serve yes hung a change up for as good as he's pitched
04:20he's coming
04:21in cold and hadn't pitched well the other day let montero eat yeah let's see where this goes and
04:26you're right to the point let's say montero same thing happens he gives up the homer you can pull
04:31him there yes one one game base is empty put somebody else in the game right sometimes you
04:36hear managers and you've heard him use it well you know i didn't want him to lose the game who
04:40cares
04:41about win loss record for a for a pitcher anyway number one and number two it's a no nobody's gonna
04:47care you be you pull the guy after 70 pitches and he gives up a home run in the seventh
04:53inning all
04:53right you can say i understand it maybe they're maybe he's losing a little bit 65 pitches it's
05:02nonsensical there's nothing usually you can come up with something that makes sense no i mean nothing
05:08he's a drew anderson better against lefties and they had i think for the next five were lefties
05:14nothing makes sense i don't know that's the best you can do nobody's buying it it's so look fans
05:21can speak for themselves hot seat for hinch 248 539 97 97 you speak for yourself you don't get to
05:28decide who gets hired and fired but you can speak for yourself it isn't it's it's incredulous to me
05:35it really is it's you know i joke about the guy's name you know malfeasance yeah that's malfeasance
05:43i mean in the in the sixth inning okay uh let's see he had a two pitch at bat to
05:52vargas who grounded
05:53out yeah the next guy antonacci was a two pitch out at bat who popped up yeah and then the
06:02third guy
06:02he faced was a oh seven pitches that he struck out after going behind oh and two nishida yeah
06:1365 pitches finishing the inning with a strikeout batters had hardly seen his stuff because he was
06:19so efficient and they were swinging early in counts they hardly seen him really go deep into at bats to
06:24really pick up his stuff i got a hard time with it and i know you do too it's a
06:32beautiful day
06:33yesterday and you know if you really care that much it's ruined but it's like i didn't change my
06:39day i just like really what are we doing here think about this they led in all three games this
06:44weekend
06:44they actually led in all three games against baltimore last weekend so you know you got a
06:50bullpen leaking and you know you got a starter dealing yeah let's not overthink they lost the
06:55bullpen lost the game the famous wentzel perez game yeah the bullpen gave up a grant you know
07:02lost that well they didn't score enough runs in that game either yeah because they only had the one
07:05no i'm talking about the one where they the five where chrisom hit the grand slam they were winning
07:10oh no you're right they were winning what five to two or whatever correct game or something like
07:13that okay not only is montero okay was lifted after 65 pitches yeah he didn't walk
07:20a batter he struck out four he had 65 pitches 46 of them were strikes he was dialed in he
07:27was
07:28pitching really well what the f are you taking him out for i i why please someone is there anybody
07:38out
07:38there in radio land who can tell me yeah you know what it made sense it makes no sense you're
07:45a major
07:45league manager a highly respected major league manager ah because joe anderson's a righty is good
07:51against lefties yeah that's the best explanation we got was that drew anderson was a better matchup
07:56against left-handed batter you know sometimes guys you know don't give up a lot of hits but they walk
08:00guys it didn't walk a batter 46 of his 65 pitches were strikes and you pull him look in the
08:10grand scheme of
08:11things this game that they lost yesterday probably because of that who knows they're not gonna make a
08:17thing because the team stinks but that says a lot about your manager you don't have enough faith in
08:24cater montero to let him go stony of qualified starting pitchers who do you think leads the tigers in era
08:31this season my's probably no well he doesn't qualify because he's injured yeah yeah it's
08:38montero yeah and melton hasn't doesn't have enough right that's why i say qualified it's just how
08:43espn defines it but okay you go to the tigers pitching page the guy you're gonna see with era
08:47next to his name as the leader is gator montero yeah and he can't continue past 65 pitches because
08:53drew anderson needs to get it i don't know what did he need 50 of 65 to be strikes what
08:57was the
08:57question was it was it from petzled or i know tony paul was in that scrum one of i think
09:02it was
09:02petzled said like was there anything more he could have done to stay in the game right it's a great
09:07question because yeah to your point what if he'd only thrown 50 pitches it didn't matter they wouldn't
09:12didn't want him to go through a third time which is ironic because he didn't he face vargas a third
09:17time yeah he already got through part of the order a third time yes but those guys weren't left
09:21so i know i'm fishing i'm like jansen i'm in northwest ontario i got my reel i'm just fishing
09:30for something something bite something bite that makes sense text coming in says uh can we get that
09:39stony song on spotify please um i'm sure evan will put it out i already messaged dev i think he'll
09:45get the video up uh tigers are one garbage can away from turning this thing around boy after
09:51yesterday we need to call him a i hinch i like that harris has a philosophy on hitting but he
09:57hasn't traded for his type of players well that's on him then yeah tigers are getting to see right now
10:02how they'll play without tarik scoobel hope they're having as much fun as we are
10:08uh jim thanks for the reverse jinx i think you just said the season's over i recall two years ago
10:13at
